Howdy From Georgia

Decatur, to be a bit more specific.

Looking forward to being part of the forum. I've been a bourbon guy for years, but just got into trying newer things and appreciating some different of the different offerings. I usually drink it neat, through a simple old fashioned is a nice to come home to.

As far as tastes go, I'd have to say that right now Weller 12 is my favorite wheater, Old Granddad 114 and Elmer T Lee are neck and neck for favorite "traditional" bourbon, and Rittenhouse is my go to rye. Only one I can't stand 1792, something about it just completely disagrees with my tastes.

Welcome, and good taste! I feel the same way about Weller 12 as you do the 1792. We may be in the minority there.

Welcome ramblinman (love the handle). You are right that Mac McGees has a great selection. Also try the Family Dog (Va Highlands/Morningside) and Local Three (Buckhead), which both have great selections and great food as well. And, you should also come to a Georgia Bourbon Society meeting at smokinjoe's place, which is easily the best selection you will ever see!

Howdy Ramblinman.My son lives in Georgia! He's in Marietta. I see he gave you a welcome (darryld911). I echo that; although I'm Brand-Damned New to these forums myself! I live in SE Michigan. I hope you find your way around these forums and have great fun with your Bourbons. I too, am not a big fan of 1792; I find it's too 'clean' for me. I like a little dirt and grime with my spirits. Many I've heard from like the sharpened taste of it; I do not; at least not as much as, say; Noah's Mill. Nice and dirty! Give it a try, if you can find it.
